Sucks but luckily aftermarket batteries exists, so it’s not the end of the world.

Forgot to mention which museum: https://www.bicomm.de/

No. A computer museum. No idea where the arcade machine was originally from.

I was in front of one recently:

These different markets are served by the same “Xbox” branded gaming division at Microsoft, though. When she talks about Xbox reaching a billion users, she means all gaming output by Microsoft.

“Xbox” is the umbrella term for everything gaming at Microsoft, including Candy Crush and Minecraft on mobile.

Steam is peanuts compared to phone games. Candy Crush Saga has over a billion downloads on Android alone where it’s the #3 top grossing casual game. On Apple it’s still the #21 puzzle game.

I know that a billion overall downloads is different from a billion daily users. This is just to put it into perspective that Steam is not the benchmark when it comes to the overall number of gamers out there. Mobile is.

This is an id software that has only released sequels rehashing mechanics with no original new IP since 2010.

id lost their touch when Bethesda bought them. All the cool modding stuff is gone. The last GPL engine release was Doom 3.

Microsoft wants to be bought by Saudi Arabia?

Yeah clockwise from which side?

From the side illustrated by the graphic in the article.

Chances are the next big id game will use Unreal Engine because Microsoft rather made a deal with Epic than to switch Halo and Gears to id Tech.

Sounds a bit like turning F1 into LMP2.

I think it’s a disease a bit like addiction.

Give me all your money then. Get rid of your addiction.

Money is a disease

That’s what rich people want to make normal people think.

I never understand the thought process of giving a Linux newcomer some niche Ubuntu derivative.

Just go with Bazzite desktop. Pretty popular and should something go wrong, there is fairly up to date information out there, so no forum posts from 15 years ago with shell commands that at best don’t work and at worst break stuff.

One concern I have is she uses her personal laptop for work

Employer needs to provide a new notebook.

In non-shithole countries this procedure would be covered by insurance because of the severity of his case.

He’s already a millionaire.

Au revoir, then, to your shitty attitude and shitty community.

Good bye and never come back. People who make other responsible for their own lack of media savviness and then turn to insults are neither welcome nor do you follow the instance rules of both LW.world and LW.ca (.ca instance rule “Argue in good faith, attack the argument; not the person, and promote a healthy debate.”)
